10 SHARING YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE 1. There are a number of ways to sharing your document, but most likely you will be adding a compiled list of sources to a paper or project, so the best option is to save it to your Google Drive, and then you will have a properly formatted Works Cited page to incorporate into your paper/project. 2. You don t want to save your Works Cited page until you are 100% certain it is done; otherwise you will end up with multiple copies of Works Cited pages and be uncertain which version is the correct version. 3. Click on Export and select Save to Google Docs: 4. Follow your teacher s instructions as to what you should do with your Works Cited page for each paper/project. Some may want you to add it to the end of your paper. Others may want you to attach it as a Google Classroom assignment. 10
